Ok...we had problems with accessing files on a DFS share so what we did was use DFS for replication only and access via direct file share on the server that is being replicated. That is to say, DFS share= \\DFSshare\sharename\file and we would access it as \\servername\share\file. Two different ways to get to the same file, but you don't have to worry about whether someone else has it open or which server you're getting it from. That seems to have solved OUR problem. Whether that will work for you or not, I don't know.

Looking that way too..but my concern there is shared storage and people opening up a document in two locations..DFS resorts to last saved wins I think. From: Michael B.

Upon further reflection I am thinking since I have two identical servers with their own storage clustering is not the way to go for a file server. Double Take may be a better bet. It used to get rave reviews, anyone still using it and have an opinion? From: Kennedy, Jim [mailto:[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>] Sent: Thursday, March 17, 2011 10:24 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Clustering for noobs. With me being the noob. So I have two identical 2008 R1 Storage Severs here with bunches of TB's in them. My intent is to cluster them and put everyone's home drives on them. They will only be used for user file storage. I have the basics figured out from a nice MS whitepaper. Bring them into the domain, cluster them, then apply a name to the cluster and hang a File Share off the cluster name. My open questions are about details. For example using FSRM for quota's, AV software on the storage pool, backups...do I just do that to each individual server like I normally would on a single server? Also, how difficult is it to change the IP's of a cluster after it is created. I would like to do all this in my building, but permanent placement is in another subnet/building. ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin
